C.L.A.S.S. AKA Murder 101 (2010)

When a brilliant female law student Fiona Reid signs up for Professor Mark Sloan’s
criminology class, she quickly realizes she has signed on for more than what she
bargained for. Fiona discovers there’s more than theory behind the good professor’s
seemingly masterful way of getting into the heads of the criminals being studied.

“How does he know those details?”

“Why does he refer to mass murderers as ‘artists’?”

Within days of Fiona joining the class, a series of sickeningly violent random killings rise
up striking fear in the hearts of the local college town student body. The Sheriff believes
a mass murderer has come to town.

With a passion for solving crime, fueled by the unsolved murder of her father’s death at
the hands of a mass murderer days before she was born, Fiona sets about the task of
catching the town’s new mass murderer. She is surprised, however, to receive assistance
from the mysterious Professor Sloan; He calls her at all hours with clues and missing
elements of the crime. He speaks to her in code from the podium, pointing her in the
necessary direction to either move closer to the killers capture or to avoid being the
killer’s next victim.

As the murder victims in town grow less and less random and more and more closely
connected to Fiona’s own life, she starts to suspect her hermitlike younger brother, her
rich cheating boyfriend; her creepy professor’s assistant and most certainly, the man who
appears to be assisting her; the professor himself.

With a surprise ending no one will see coming, the twists never seem to stop in this
shocking dark thriller.
